Hi everyone, I'm relatively new here. A few weeks ago I went through a complicated family situation, and I had no one to talk to about it. But I felt like I needed to get it off my chest. So I wrote a very intimate letter, saying all the things I didn't dare say out loud, and it helped me a lot. It was therapeutic, I'd say.

A couple of days later, once the storm had calmed down, an idea came to me. The thing is, I've been a web developer for about 3 years now, and I thought about creating a space – kind of like a social network or blog – where people could vent without pressure, without social noise, none of that. Just like a daily journal.

And that's what I've been working on for the past couple of weeks. So I'd like to know: does this sound interesting to you? Do you relate to anything I said? Do you think a site like this could help people? Anyway, I'm listening.

I agree, anonymously talking to others online is different from writing in a diary. But that's not so different than what we can do here with Lemmy (and before it got enshittified, Reddit) - where does your proposed solution differ from that?
